To Keep Flatirons From Rusting.

To keep flatirons from rusting wheffi exposed to dampness, melt paraffin to the depth of half an inch in pan* large enough to hold two or more irons. Wait until it is nearly cold l and then put the Irons in. In that way they will not sink to the bottom of the pan. Irons treated in this manner have not rusted when left slxi months In a closed house. In case you have no paraffin, greas-i tng the irons thickly and wrapping! them in newspapers will serve the; same purpose.*
